pontiac 2006 G6, my car suddenly stopped working so i bought a new starter, it still wont start and now has a lock symbol on dashboard that was never there before. the car sounds like it wants to start but doesnt. also my friend can start the car by going underneath the front of car and jumping the solenoid. soooo what is making my car not start with the key also what does the lock symbol mean? (it was never there b4 when i bought the car and had the car for 1 and a half year before this just happen) thx. any advice i would APPRECIATE it cause i love my damn car n miss driving it!!!! :(

Make sure you have at least 12.6 volts at the battery. These cars will
not start and the security system will not reset with less than 12.6
volts. If however your battery tests okay, do this: Turn the key to the
ON position and leave it for ten minutes. This will 'reset' the ignition
rotation sensor, which often goes bad in these cars. You may have
to reset the security system after this. Go here:

Thx everyone for responding, i do greatly appreciate this, and it
def sounds like the key is not responding to the car "brain", lol,
so I will try first to get they key made n try that suggestions then
second calling around dealerships about replacing the key, i just
pray that's the problem!!! I will update everyone what i found out
that worked to fix this problem so in future someone else going
thru this can try this out instead of wanting to beat ur car to a
pulp due to frustration,hehehe. ;) thx ~Chrissy
